‘He’s reaching cult status’: Napoli’s rising star Victor Osimhen

Al Jazeera  

The Nigerian’s goals have brought Napoli to the brink of a first Serie A title since 1990, making him a hero in the port city. His tally of 21 goals in Italy’s Serie A has made him the league’s top scorer by some margin, and he has also scored four in Napoli’s historic run to the Champions League quarters. “Perhaps he will become a Maradona-esque figure if he leads them to the Serie A and the Champions League titles.” Osimhen missed three games in recent weeks with a groin injury and Napoli have looked blunt without him. “Many Nigerians are keenly following Napoli’s games because of his incredible performances – just like the old Nigerian stars brought their following to their clubs,” Adewuyi noted. Many young Nigerians are becoming fans of Napoli because of Victor.” However, Osimhen’s transfer value is rising with every goal he scores and he is reportedly on the radar of several Premier League sides.
